Weird ads

Has anyone else noticed the weirdly inappropriate ads that show up on this site? So far today I've seen one ad for a "degree" in theology and another one for a website inviting me to learn about what's wrong with my "chakra".... or some shit.

Sarah, the religious ads are very common due to the fact that we are discussing the topic of religion much of the time. Ads are generated and shown based on our "interest" in religion. In a way, it's kind of funny. Religious organizations are paying for ads that are being wasted on atheists.

If you really want to get rid of 'em, Sarah, load up Adblock Plus on your browser. I've used it for years and it works beautifully, with only a few exceptions (CBS News won't let you load a video with it enabled), and you can select specific sites or pages as exceptions.
